[Juggz]

That the leavers were lying through their hole all along?

Fuck sake

[Juggz]

Interesting to see many Brexiteer MPs upset by Bercow saying they can't have another vote on the same proposal when they show little interest in affording the same privilege to the general public.

Purely from a voyeuristic point of view, it would be fascinating to see how the UK would vote if they were given the opportunity again, knowing now what they know.

The smug fucker was only delighted with a little bit of the spotlight.

They've voted against a No-Deal scenario, which brings on the extension. Either during the extension or shortly thereafter, you'd have to figure that the next logical step in avoiding a No Deal would be to put the vote back to the people? Assuming the EU stick to their guns as they have so far.  It's probably hardly worth mentioning logical steps at this point, though.

"I think we should kick the withdrawal thing down the road a few months so we can have a third vote on my deal"

Well what about if we just put another vote to the people to see if they still think leaving is the best idea?

"Absolutely not! The people already voted and it would destroy democracy to vote again!!"

[Juggz]

This will be the simplest deal of all time. They hold all the cards, after all.

[Juggz]

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the UK would be faced with three options if Mrs May's deal was defeated again next week: revoke Article 50; leave without a deal; or a longer extension could be granted at an emergency EU summit, but with "onerous conditions".

It's not quite like the brochure. You'd see better organisation going into a stag weekend. No-deal will be a catastrophe for their businesses, and ours.

If (and I appreciate that's a big if) that happens, you'd have to think the Scottish won't be long looking to jump ship. Could Brexit lead to the Union falling apart and the Scottish back in the EU in a few years?

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

A few years? The kind of predicted catastrophe could lead to turbo politics; an "extraordinary general meeting" via emergency second referendum on membership in the UK and, potentially, Scotland would never actually leave the EU at all. That's the kind of excitement we deserve after this whole uncoordinated heel-dragging shitshow!

[Juggz]

It appears the EU will extend until 22nd of May and no longer, provided next week the House of Commons approve the Withdrawal Agreement as it is currently drafted.

[Emphyrio]

And this is the third vote of the same bill? The vote which has been scuppered cos of your man saying another vote without changes to that bill won't be allowed?

[Juggz]

That's the one 

Thie history of this will be a great read for the people of the future.

[Emphyrio]

You actually could not make it up. So many words have been used to describe how utterly shambolic the whole thing has been, but really, words genuinely don't cover it. Not in the English language anyway. What's the opposite of Vorsprung durch technic?

Finally, the voice of reason - Uri Gellar - has weighed in on the matter

"An open letter to Theresa May
My Dear Theresa,
We have known each other for over 21 years since you became our MP. You visited my home in Sonning, where you also lived. Three years before you became Prime Minister, I predicted your victory when I showed you Winston Churchill's spoon on my Cadillac, which I asked you to touch.
Despite popular public opinion, I also predicted that Donald Trump would become the 45th President of the United States.
As you might have read, I am ensuring that Jeremy Corbyn never gets the keys to Number 10 Downing Street, with the power of my mind which I have proved over and again.
I will ensure that they bend out of all proportion to ensure that he never takes up residence there.
My power has been validated by the CIA, MI5 and Mossad.
The CIA concluded: "As a result of Geller's success in this experimental period, we consider that he has demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner."
It is easily verifiable. Just look at the official CIA website.
I have influenced many high ranking officials around the world.
On one occasion, Senator Clayborne Pell, then the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, directed me to bombard the mind of Yuli Vorontsov, the Soviet Union's chief nuclear negotiator, to influence him telepathically to sign the Nuclear Arms Reduction treaty, which I did successfully.
Now to the point of my open letter to you.
I feel psychically and very strongly that most British people do not want Brexit.
I love you very much but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit.
As much as I admire you, I will stop you telepathically from doing this - and believe me I am capable of executing it.
Before I take this drastic course of action, I appeal to you to stop the process immediately while you still have a chance.
Although I currently live in Israel I am still a British citizen and feel very passionately about the country and the people I came to love.
Much energy and love
Uri"

"while you still have a chance"
